At the Athens Olympic Games, Xie Xingfang did not have the opportunity to participate, and Lin Dan suffered a round of travel, and the two walked through this difficult time hand in hand and ushered in the peak of their careers. At the 2006 World Championships, Lin Dan Xie Xingfang also appeared on the podium of the world championship.

In December 2008, Du Li's relationship with Pang Wei was exposed, and according to insiders, the two began to fall in love long before the Olympic Games began.

Chang Hao & Zhang Xuan
If the marriage of the woman's eldest son within 5 years of age is relatively acceptable to the outside world, then the marriage of Chang Hao, the world champion of Go, has shocked the outside world. Chang Hao was born in Shanghai on November 7, 1976, learned chess at the age of 6, entered the Shanghai team at the age of 8, and was selected for the national junior training team at the age of 10, winning the world championship three times. Her wife, named Zhang Xuan, was born in 1968, a Fujian chess player, learned chess at the age of 8, entered sports school at the age of 10, entered the training team at the age of 12, also won the world championship, and had a short marriage in 1990.
Zhang Xuan went to Japan to develop in 1991, when he met Chang Hao, who was only 15 years old, when Zhang Xuan wanted to return to China in 1995, he had more contact with the 19-year-old Chang Hao, zhang Xuan found that Chang Hao had grown up at once, and the two had endless topics to talk about. In 1997, Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan developed into lovers. On February 12, 1999, 23-year-old Chang Hao married his bride Zhang Xuan, who was 8 years older than him. As a genius who once shouldered all the hopes of Chinese Go, the combination of Chang Hao's nine dan and Zhang Xuan's eight dan was accompanied by a lot of noise from the beginning. One of the reasons why Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan's marriage is controversial is that some people believe that Chang Hao's premature entry into family life will affect his chess ability. However, facts have proved that Zhang Xuan has become Chang Hao's strongest "psychological backing". In 1999, chang Hao ushered in the peak of his career after marriage, and he won 4 championships and 2 runners-up in 6 domestic competitions.
With the birth of their daughter, the two lived their own happiness. In 2005, Chang Hao won the Ying Cup World Go Championship, establishing him as a leading figure in Chinese Go. As a veteran figure of the Chinese Chess Academy said: "A talented chess player like Chang Hao must have the support of a sage to become a great instrument." Just like Japan's super first-class chess player Koichi Kobayashi, he married a wife who was more than ten years older than himself, and it may be this combination that has created a generation of chess players to maintain their youth forever. Zhang Xuan said: "Daughter, Chang Hao, and Go, these will always be the three most important things in my life." ”
Tang Miao & Zhou Suhong
The sports world "sister-brother love" can also be very happy, but the most regrettable pair of sister-brother love is Tang Miao and Zhou Suhong.

Zhou Suhong and Tang Miao met on the football field, and in March 2002, the Volleyball Management Center organized an indoor football match between the national men's and women's volleyball players to relax the players. Tang Miao accidentally hit Zhou Suhong while playing football, which opened the prelude to the interaction between the two. Because they are engaged in the same project and play the same position, the two have too many common topics, and the two hearts quickly approach. In early January 2007, Zhou Suhong and Tang Miao received a license to marry in Shanghai. However, because both had Olympic missions, it was decided to postpone the wedding to 2008 or later. But an accident destroyed all the happiness of the two. On June 13, 2007, Tang Miao accidentally hit a wall while attending an exchange competition in St. Petersburg, Russia, causing a crushing fracture of the cervical spine and the inability to breathe on his own. Zhou Suhong, who was preparing for the Russian Presidential Cup at the time, was specially approved for vacation and rushed to the hospital on June 19, the Day of the Dragon Boat Festival, to accompany Tang Miao through the difficulties. After briefly accompanying her husband in Shanghai for a while, in order not to delay the training competition, Zhou Suhong chose to return to the team to participate in the training.
No matter how carefully taken care of, Tang Miao's condition still did not get much better, Zhou Suhong had a very heavy game task, in order not to delay Zhou Suhong, the Tang family decided to let Zhou Suhong and Tang Miao divorce. But Zhou Suhong refused. In order to dispel Tang Miao's thoughts, Zhou Suhong thought of a "five-year period" to prevaricate, "After 5 years, if you still can't stand up, let's talk about it." After five years of perseverance, the two could not wait for a miracle, Tang Miao was determined to let go, the two went through divorce procedures at the end of 2011, and the two continued their love with family affection. Despite being divorced, the two parties are still like a family, and Zhou Suhong often visits Tang Miao and his family in Shanghai. Papa Tang said, "Their feelings haven't changed at all. The future of life is just another way. ”
At the beginning of 2013, Zhou Suhong once again entered the palace of marriage under the introduction of friends. On October 29, Zhou Suhong's daughter was born, she gave her daughter a nickname , Xiao Cannon, when asked about her relationship with Tang Miao, she said that when her daughter grew up, she would call him a father. Now, Zhou Suhong's husband will also appear on the field of the women's volleyball league to support her work, and Zhou Suhong ushered in another period of happiness.
